PM Modi to hold 2nd round of Chintan Shivir in October; dates yet to be finalised
What happened
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hold a second two-day round of the Chintan Shivir. The meeting is expected to take place in October, with exact dates yet to be finalised. The first round of the Chintan Shivir was held on September 23 and 24, when ministers were divided into four groups for discussions with Modi. Ministers were asked to speak about their respective ministries' work in the meeting.
Why it matters
The second round of the Chintan Shivir may lead to a re-evaluation of existing government schemes and programmes, with some possibly being dropped or pursued more aggressively. The meeting is also expected to focus on expanding government reach among voters, including through voter-list enrolment and connections with stakeholders. This may indicate the government's priorities for improving its governance.
Key facts
- Ministers were divided into four groups of 17-18 members each for discussions with Modi in the first round. The discussions focused on improving policy, delivery of policies, and people's experience with government services. A second round of the Chintan Shivir was initially scheduled for September 29 and 30 but was deferred due to pre-scheduled official appearances by ministers.
